Going cold turkey is bad. It always seems easy before stopping but when the cravings start...it really comes down on how bad you want it.

I've thought about trying hypnosis. I'm hearing a lot of good stories about it. Winxtp.com has a review about a self hypnosis program. I like it because it has a 60 day money back guarantee and the creator actually seems to be credible for a change. Does anyone have experience with stuff like this?

I'v quit smoking solely because of starcraft. i can quit smoking when im at my parents but when im back at my place i always smoke packs a day. all my friends smoke and the way iv stopped was by playing starcraft. i did it cold turkey from 2 packs a day to absolutely nothing. iv traded smoking for starcraft addiction wise. first 3 weeks are the hardest so i stayed home and played sc2 almost all day. sc2 was very helpful to keep my thoughts from smoking and sigs. after 3 weeks its less hard to stop the craving. what rly helps is working out to keep from thinking about sigs.
anyway thats how i stopped smoking its been 4 months now and i still think about smoking and buying a pack but when i do i focus more on starcraft top stop the craving. and because i channeled the frustration on to starcraft i made it to dia league.

Including today it has been exactly six months since I've stopped smoking.

I had tried in the past with the "less cigarettes a day" trick, but in my personal experience it's bullshit.
One day at work I was talking with a colleague of mine about my desire to quit smoking... while having a cg in hand.
He is a heavy smoker who had failed to stop in the past, so he looked in my eyes and told me: "You know that if you smoke that one you will never stop?"
Don't know why, but it worked.
I trashed that cig and the packet right after, and since then I never touched anything.

The first two weeks had been hell, but I kept remembering myself that if I ever surrendered for a little I would have never quit.
I guess the real difficulty comes not only because of the habit, but because of some "habit locations", like the spot when you smoke right after having the car parked and so on.
The trick is to recognise these places so that you can avoid them/strenghten your resolve before going there.

At the current moment I don't feel the need anymore, so I think it worked.
My previous tentatives did last only for about a week and at the current moment I don't feel the need anymore despite living in the same environment, so I think it worked.
Good luck to everyone, guys!

I'm trying to quit really hard.
But if I decide one day that I'm going to try and not smoke that day, I end up wanting one more.
It's really killing me
I want to go back to being weird. I like being weird. Weird is all I've got. That and my sweet style.

I've smoked a pack a day since I was 17. That's 8 years now. I want to quit and I don't want to quit and it's a constant cycle of smoking a few less then slipping back and smoking a pack again.

I hate how addicted I am.

Quit cold turkey half way through new years day. Wasn't planned or anything, I finished the 3 cigarettes I had left from going out the night before, and decided it was time to change. Day 1 and 2 were hell. Day 3 and today not so much. I chew loads of gum, have a slightly harder time focussing (feels like I'm a little high, especially in the evenings) and I'm coughing my lungs out but I find it rather enjoyable and see it as part of 'healing'.

I'm also running like a madman, I think to compensate for the nicotine by releasing happy exercise hormones, but I'm no doctor.

Smoked pack a day for 5-6 years before this. I am a little afraid of 'losing' cigarettes as a social tool. It had become kind of my go-to move to chat people up while going out, any tips on that? And how long does the coughing from quitting continue for?

Today I finally decided to do this. I've smoked 5 years now and lately it's been a pack a day and it's too fucking much. And it costs way too much.

Going to be tough as motherfucking nails seeing as I've got an extremely stressful job. Nevertheless I shall emerge victorious and as a better man (I hope).

Stopped with snus on new years eve, cold turkey. Still surviving. Please guys, tell me that the first week is the worst one...

Using workouts and chewing gum to counter the craving, and it works pretty well so far. I don't get much sleep though, as I'm hyperactive as fuck
Gravity is just a theory anyway.

Been smoking too much lately and it's a pretty expensive habbit. Put it down after the new years party and have been holding on without too much problems since then. The problems will start when I get back to university. Hopefully I can be strong though. Its such a good feeling when someone asks for a lighter and you can tell them you don't smoke.
Though we strike at you from the shadows, do not think that we lack the courage to stand in the light.

Haven't smoked for a week now. Gets easier every day, it's quite cool to have your taste/smell returning and it feels good to be able to inhale deeply without coughing.

That said I've been itching to get high, but I don't want to smoke. Anyone with a solution that isn't 200 euros? (as in a vaporizer)

Gone from 20 a day for 10 years (with a missing month here an there on my countless attempts to stop) to 0 cold turkey.

What finally did it for me: Going full retard health obsessive mode!
-First made a pact with a friend to have a sixpack ready by next summer (9 months to work with)
-Cardio 30min a day (no excuse, ever)
-Hit the gym every other day (no excuse, ever)
-Eat right - 6 times a day minimum, double body weight in protein, mass fibre/vitamins/etc.

From being almost underweight (185cm, 64,5kg, 17%bf) I've gained 5kg's in weight and lowered my bf by 4-5%.

Most important of all though, I have still not smoked. Last was the 27 september, so I have passed my 3 month mark and hardly ever think about it anymore.

Being complete health nazi was the motivation i needed. Just one cigaret, and all the fucking jogging and eating nothing but boring shit would be wasted.

Now, I don't think smoking bud is nearly as bad as cigarettes, but if you don't want the cough, a vaporizer is a great investment. I got a V-Tower extreme which has the bag like a volcano and a hose and it was 180 american ~ 140 eur. It might be a big initial investment but if you want to get high with no cough it's the way to go.

The problem isn't so much the cough as it is the nicotine. I don't want to let myself smoke even that single joint with tobacco mixed in, at least not for the next couple of weeks. Any other solutions that won't cost me that kind of money or is it vaporizer only?

(Today was hell for me. I woke up after the most extreme smoking dream, which felt real to a point where I could swear I smoked. Shitty mood for the rest of the day. Also the first day back in my normal routine after the holidays which hurt even more.)
